Molly has decided to have a routine for her milk today.....3oz every 1.5-2 hours She's been like that all day but at least it some sort of routine

She's normally 5-6oz every 3-4 hours but can be as little as 2 hours or as much as 5 hours

Such a faffy bum but she knows what she wants

Not yet thankfully but she is starting to wake earlier for a bottle every few mornings. Not liking that very much lol. She's loving bits of my food at the moment, specially mashed potato She's only had teeny bits but gets excited when I put food near her lol

I moved her back on to Aptamil #1 from #2 as it didn't seem to agree with her (after 8/9 weeks on the stuff) and she's taking an average of 30oz a day. Her milk intake is the only thing stopping me from weaning her so i'm waiting to see if she starts waking at night or starts taking more milk before I give her more than a teeny taste of things.

Tell your HV to bugger off lol. As long as he's gaining weight he's fine on what he's taking. I've not seen my HV since Molly was 4 weeks old. I just talk to the one at the weigh clinic when I need more cream and oil for Molly's eczema so they don't know anything about her eating habits lol

I doubt she's ever going to have a routine with her milk. She's almost had one today but it was annoying having to feed her every 1.5 hours lol Hopefully she'll go back to taking full bottles tomorrow 35-40oz and i'll look into starting weaning so shouldn't be too long.

What i did was got the baby rice and mixed it very thinly with their milk and with the first bottle in the morning gave them half the bottle and then a couple of spoons of rice and then let them finish the bottle did this for a week and then added the same routin to lunch for a week and then at tea time for another week and gradualy made the rice thicker and gave them more i started this with all mine around 16 weeks and has not done them any harm
